Subdivision and Platting Ordinance Update

The City of Marshfield is in the beginning stages of updating the subdivision and platting ordinance. The current ordinance was adopted in 1975 and re-codified in the early 80’s. There have been no revisions since then, therefore it’s outdated. The scheduled update will allow the City to incorporate current tools, techniques, and strategies into the ordinance that will promote responsible subdivision design. Public participation is welcome throughout the process. Contact Josh Miller, Planning/Zoning Administrator, at (715) 486-2075.

Central Fire Station Project Information

The City of Marshfield is currently constructing a centrally located fire station. As information becomes available it will be posted on this web site. Please visit the fire station project page for more information.
